Description
The balance and structure of a vintage champagne
The property
Since its creation in 1818 by the couple Elisabeth Salmon and Nicolas-François Billecart, the Champagne Billecart-Salmon House has remained independent, preserving for 7 generations the entirety of its know-how and the demand for the quality of its cuvées.
The vineyard
The vineyard of the Billecart-Salmon House extends from the Côte des Blancs to the Montagne de Reims over nearly 100 hectares. The vines are cultivated and cared for in a traditional way in order to approach an authentic fruit and reflect the quality of the Champagne terroir.
The wine
The Cuvée Nicolas François Billecart was created in 1964 in tribute to the founder of the House. This 1996 vintage champagne is made from a rigorous selection of Grands Crus undergoing a vinification partially carried out in oak barrels.
Blend
The Cuvée Nicolas François Billecart 1996 from Billecart-Salmon is the result of a blend of chardonnay and pinot noir.
